Get TWO best-selling Xbox/PS4 games for £35, or TWO pre-order games for £70 (incl Call of Duty, Destiny 2)

If you’re like me and love video games, you’ll know buying the latest releases can make a serious dent in your bank account. Luckily, there’s an offer stacking trick at Tesco right now to save your pocket from monetary defeat.

This week, if you’re in the market for a couple of new games, you can make some serious savings on both current titles as well as future PS4 and Xbox releases at Tesco Direct*, including Destiny 2, Elder Scrolls Morrowind and Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Unfortunately, COD WWII isn’t included in the deal for pre-orders… (“Mission failed. We’ll get ‘em next time”).

It works by combining a multi-buy offer with some Tesco online codes to either get £5 or £10 off depending on how much you spend. This deal stacking can save you a decent amount of cash on two games, particularly as some of the current releases are over £40 each. For example, if you were getting Infinite Warfare and Gears of War 4, full price it’d cost £90, but using this trick it comes to £35 (so a huge £55 saving).

There are two steps to getting this deal. First, see if there are two games you’re planning to buy included in the multi-buy. Second, apply one of the online codes (below) to make an extra saving on top. It’s worth noting, while you may spot the mutli-buy offers in Tesco stores, you’ll only be able to use the codes online. Both the offers and the codes will expire on Sun 7 May.

If you’re taking advantage of either multi-buy offer, you’ll automatically be spending enough to use one of Tesco’s online codes (both valid until Sun 7 May). There are codes for £5 off a £40 spend and £10 off a £75 spend, meaning you’ll drop the individual cost of each game even further.

Simply enter the relevant code at checkout:

£5 off £40+ spend: TDX-JHMW

£10 off £75+ spend: TDX-WNFX

So, by using the multi-buy offer and the online code at checkout, you can get two current games for just £35 (£17.50 each) or two future release games for £70 (£35 each).

You can get free delivery on all of these purchases (as they’re gaming), or select free next-day Click & Collect (though pre-order games won’t be delivered until their release date). As an extra bonus, you can also collect Clubcard points as a result of your purchase.

Of course, if you’re only buying one game, you can simply skip the first step and just use the code to get a fiver off – but you might be able to find single games cheaper elsewhere, so be sure to do a price comparison. And if you’d rather buy from Amazon, it’s also got codes that’ll get you £5 or £10 off until Sun 7 May. For more info on these, see our Amazon gaming codes write-up.

After writing this, don’t be surprised if I disappear for a while – I’ll probably be glued to my Xbox controller. But don’t worry, “A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.” (My favourite video game quote from the Halo series).

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
